2012-05-06 - Isle of Wight Randonnee

I suggest that we meet at Waterloo around 11am in order to catch the 12pm train.
That will get us to Portsmouth at 13:33 and then we can be off the ferry on IoW a bit after 14:00.

Then rally the troops for ride to Tipis, get set up, head to shop for provisions and get started on the beer while it's (hopefully) still warm and bright.

Or we could go a bit later. Not really fussed.
This!!

Though to make sure, what actual day is this? You know I will probably get the wtrong day unless you explicitly tell me which one it is...

Lola pants. You seem to be under the misaprehension that I am:

a) the oracle (false)
b) in charge of this ride (false)

From memory we did not book the ferry last time. We turned up at the terminal and paid for it then and there.

:)

And... What will the weather be ???

She knows....

I think the peeps below are without tickets yet. Let me know if any of you are interested in being chauffeured for slightly more (2 in the car) or slightly less (3 in the car) than the train.

You better be joking.

ummmm

no

Look it up, you spanner.

You're on a computer.
You have a phone.

They can give you this information.

Im so giving you a hug when i see you

Just so you know where to go, T4.

What you guys think of this for me???

Looooool!

repped!

10 days to go, kids.
Dig out your sleeping bags and get ready...

dont have one..................

might just have to go to Argos

Braker - If you're driving down go Red Funnel ferries from southampton to east cowes - normally much cheaper as the price is for a car + 6 whereas wightlink charge for each passenger on top.

Aram and Raymund, can I have my dollar for the tickets please? I don't get paid till next week and just realized that I'm very poor atm... ;-/
Thank you!

I've just found out I've got that whole weekend free. I was thinking about doing a bit of cycle camping out east but this looks much more fun.
a) Can I come too?
b) Breaker, I'm up for a lift, and have a bike rack.
c) I'd be going geared as the beater aint up to this.

Sorry guys but I have to miss out on this one as my uni work is now piling up more and more every day. It is a shame but I wish you all a great time.
Replaced myself with Woah Cats.

Digger & Chatters have already expressed interest (in that order). How many bikes can go on the rack, and how does it fix? If we can get 4 on it then it works out very cheap for us. Car is Mazda 3 if that makes a difference.

Where are you based so we can try out the rack?

Lots of Q's!
If it all seems like too much hassle, I'll grab a groupsave for the four of us.

Thank you!

Sent! Really sorry. Let me know if there are any problems with the payment.

Great! Thank you!

I am excite!

Digs, Chats, and Woah, let's short this shiz via PM's over teh wkend.

As an aside, I am determined to get a badge this year after leaving empty handed on the 2 previous years! Maybe they'll give me 3?... and a medal... and a trophy... and a crown... some sort of coronation would be nice... with grinning glamour models clad in Rapha.

.

Got tickets for 1030 train from waterloo on Sat 5th. Staying near Sandown
Where are the tipis pitched?
Anyone else on that train?

Guys I bought a ticket for Raymund but he didn't reply for my PM (and as it goes didn't pay)... What should I do? Anybody still needs a ticket? I would really rather not be left with it as it's a lot of money I would rather spend on something else :-/
